Thank you for your comments. The stove was a present from the wife and the cookset from the in-laws, not going to complian. Tried it out in the Ashdown Forest with Coleman fuel on Thursday, pleased with the performance. Just bought some paraffin from Homebase, £5 for 4 ltrs, will give it a try...

Ranger I keep the piston in a pouch along with other fire lighting equipment - char cloth, flint & Steel, Firesteel, Turbo lighter and waterproof matches, all stored a dry place. It just seems to be hit or miss if the piston will light when struck. I have learnt that it works better after...

Jim I have been involved with D of E for the last eight years for different schools, the wife is a teacher and always gets me involved with practice and qualifing weekends for Bronze and Silver awards. The biggest problem at the moment in Kent is with the BELA award, unless you have a BELA...
